Why I like this recipe

The teriyaki sauce makes this meal the ideal balance of sweet and salty. I adore it since it’s cheap, easy to use, and full of flavor. If you have a hungry family to feed, pre-made sauces are a terrific way to save time!

First, the ground turkey is cooked with onion and garlic in a frying pan. Next, add broccoli, shredded carrots, and peas and simmer them until they are soft. A store-bought teriyaki sauce is poured over everything and served over rice. This makes a full meal in one bowl that everyone will appreciate!

Ground turkey is a healthier, leaner alternative to ground beef. It works well in stir-fries, just like my popular ground turkey sweet potato skillet!

Instructions

Step 1: Make the rice

Using a rice cooker or a saucepan on the stove, follow the package directions to cook 1½ cups of rice.

Step 2: Get the vegetables ready

Cut 1 cup of carrots into small pieces, 1 ½ cups of onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and 2 cups of broccoli into small pieces.

Step 3: Cook the onion and garlic.

Put 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and heat it over medium heat. Add 1½ cups of chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the onion is see-through.

STEP 4: Put in the ground turkey

Now add one pound of ground turkey. Use the tip of a wooden spatula to break it apart. Cook it until it is no longer pink.

Step 5: Put in the vegetables

Then add 2 cups of chopped broccoli, 1 cup of shredded carrots, and 1 cup of frozen peas. Mix everything together. Put a lid on the pan and cook the broccoli until it is a little tender when you probe it with a fork. This will take roughly three to four minutes.

Step 6: Put in the teriyaki

Now, add 1 1/2 cups of teriyaki sauce to everything and stir it all together. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce is hot all the way through.

STEP 7: Serve with rice

Put the prepared rice in dishes and top it with the teriyaki ground turkey. Serve and enjoy!

½ teaspoon of garlic powder
Two tablespoons of cornstarch
¼ cup of water that is cold

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, 1 cup of water, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic powder.
Put in a small pot and heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts (so it doesn’t burn).
